In times of questioning and despair people often quote the Bible to provide answers. Surprisingly, though, the Bible does not have one answer but many "answers" that often contradict one another. For renowned Bible scholar Bart Ehrman the question of why there is so much suffering in the world is more than a haunting thought. Ehrman's inability to reconcile the claims of faith with the facts of real life led the former pastor of the Princeton Baptist Church to reject Christianity. In God's Problem Ehrman discusses his personal anguish upon discovering the Bible's contradictory explanations for suffering and invites people of all faiths--and none--to confront our deepest questions about how God engages the world and each of us.
